Mark Franco began his training in the Bujinkan in 1989 under Kevin B. Millis Shidoshi. In 1998, Mark earned a Masters of Science Degree in Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine, which he utilizes in the teaching of movement principles and other aspects related to martial arts. During a trip to Japan in the Spring of 2001, after passing the Godan test, Mark received a Shidoshi (teaching) license. Upon returning home, he established the first Bujinkan dojo in the Santa Monica (west-side) area. Mark visits the Honbu Dojo annually, attending the classes of Masaaki Hatsumi Soké, and has had the opportunity to study with some of the top Japanese Shihan and their students.

Mark makes a sincere effort to transmit the art in the way he has been shown. However, despite his in-depth knowledge and experience, Mark strives to remain humble as he pursues the art and shares its teaching.
